Chapter 235 Engagement (1)
"May I ask you what time will you return to Hong Kong tomorrow? I have booked a flight from Hong Kong to Shanghai tomorrow night, and I still have a day to play tomorrow. Do you want to go shopping?"

Jiujiu thought for a while, and excitedly proposed: "How about we go horseback riding? I was injured before and I couldn't go. I want to go."

Lan Zhongwen had no expression on his face, and said with distaste, "What's so good about riding a horse? It's smelly and can kill people, and the horse is so hairy, full of lice and bugs, aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, just come back and take a shower. I want to see a real horse, okay? I only watched it on TV before. I really like it. I want to try the heroic feeling of riding a horse." It must be cool, Isn't that how it's played on TV?The feeling of flying in the wind is particularly amazing.

"Well, since Madam wants to go so much, I have to obey instead of being respectful."

Jiujiu laughed loudly, grabbed Lan Zhongwen's arm, and leaned his head on his shoulder, "Then let's go back to Hong Kong tomorrow morning, the racecourse is over there, go to bed early at night, and have the energy to play tomorrow."

"Okay." He responded softly with a seductive smile.

Time flies like an arrow, and it is winter vacation in a blink of an eye.

this day.

Wind and sunshine.

It was a day suitable for a happy event, Lan's house was opened early, Jiujiu also dug up Xiao Ma early in the morning, and changed into the skirt designated by Xiao Ma.

As far as Xiao Ma's vision is concerned, it's not bad. When I was a child, I loved buying court-style dresses for Jiujiu. At that time, Jiujiu felt very tacky and inconvenient to wear. The skirt is so fluffy. Climbing trees to pick mulberries is very cumbersome.

When it comes to mulberries, Jiujiu has not eaten them for several years. There is one in the back garden of her grandma's house. She remembers that her mouth is full of purple every time she eats it, and she and third cousin laugh at each other while eating.

Jiujiu yawned and washed her face, Xiao's mother urged her several times, telling her to hurry up and not miss the auspicious time.

Everything was ready, Jiujiu opened the car door, got into Xiao's father's car, under the sun, Jiujiu's eyes were like sea water, quiet and transparent, the whole person looked lazy, faint, but extremely dazzling.

Xiao's mother and Xiao's father both looked at her with admiration, and it was true that excellent genes made a beauty, and Jiujiutian grew a wise and lonely appearance, which was shockingly beautiful.

The luxury car drove slowly, and when they arrived at the Lan Mansion, there were servants tearing up couplets at the door. Jiujiu got out of the car, wearing a goose yellow whalebone skirt. This kind of skirt looked dignified and noble, but it was too tiring. Wearing a hard whalebone, you must wear a white waistband to zip up. The waist is as delicate and graceful as a willow. It is a must-have dress for the upper class to attend dinner parties.

Jiujiu took a deep breath, straightened her chest, and the white bow on the neckline swayed. This kind of skirt can only walk when the abdomen is tucked in and the chest is raised. The so-called 21-inch waist is shaped like this. Fortunately, Xiao Ma knew that Jiujiu was reckless, so she didn't choose a long skirt for her, otherwise she would be killed.

Walking into the gate, Jiujiu saw a man standing in front of the pear wood table writing big characters. The man was bald, with a calm demeanor, and the wolf hair in his hand was galloping on the red paper, holding the pen like a breeze.

With such a magnanimity, who else is it but Mr. Ye?

Jiujiu was slightly surprised that grandpa also came.

With joy on his face, he was about to run over, but was stopped by Adjutant Chen beside grandpa, "Hey, the old man is writing, please don't disturb him."

Jiujiu took a closer look, only to find that Mr. Ye's eyes were dark, his face was solemn, and his face was concentrated. He stood in front of the Four Treasures of the Study, his crutches were placed horizontally, as if he had no other distractions, and he wrote down the red paper in a graceful calligraphy.

Jiujiu was shocked, Xiao's father stood beside her and praised, "This is really well written."

"Dad, he is Lan Zhongwen's grandfather, Mr. Ye Lao."

"It turned out to be Mr. Ye, who has admired his name for a long time." For some reason, Xiao's father also became civilized, and he gave him a suspicious look, as if asking, Dad, why are you also playing with words.

Papa Xiao seemed to know what she was thinking, and knocked her on the head once, "Don't be rude in front of elders."

"Oh." Jiujiu reluctantly responded, rubbing his nose, because there was too much dust in the training ground, which made his nose itchy and extremely uncomfortable.

Careful Adjutant Chen noticed that Jiujiu was rubbing his nose, walked up thoughtfully, and said respectfully, "Welcome to the Lan House, the three of you are very dusty in the training ground. Let the three go to the main house first. When the old man finishes writing, he will naturally pass by." .”

Just at this time, Father Lan and Mr. Lan came out of the main house, with a few servants behind them carrying evergreens and six-petal lilies.

Pots of evergreens mixed with lilies are placed directly at the gate of the main house. Evergreens and lilies have a good omen of a hundred years of marriage and love for thousands of years. The child is about to get engaged, so of course we need to find a good omen to draw a lottery.

Mr. Lan and Mr. Lan look very similar, wearing a long gown, heroic and radiant. He and Mr. Ye must have looked very handsome when they were young. They are almost 70 years old, and they are still like pines and cypresses, straight and straight , not easy.

Lan's father also saw them, and walked up to them in a friendly manner, and explained the meaning of marriage customs to Xiao's father and Xiao mother along the way. Xiao's father and Xiao mother were only one daughter, and they were engaged for the first time, and they laughed from ear to ear.

After a while, Lan's mother also came, and she invited Xiao's mother to the kitchen to see today's dishes, and also stopped by to see the layout of the backyard. The engagement banquet will be held in the backyard tonight.

They are military families, so it is not appropriate to make big arrangements for weddings. They should try to be as low-key as possible, and just choose some good omens and good dishes to greet the guests. Even the couplets are prepared by Mr. Ye himself, which shows his sincerity.

Although busy, my family is very happy. If it is handed over to the hotel, it will be a one-stop service. They only need to be present on time. Although that is decent, there is no joyful feeling of participation at all.

It's not like now, everyone's face is full of red, the dishes are personally selected, and the Evergreen Lily personally chooses, and even the place in the backyard is personally arranged.

Everyone is busy in an orderly manner, immersed in the joy of Lan Zhongwen's upcoming engagement, and there are still two hours before the auspicious time, and the guests have not yet arrived, so Papa Xiao helped Papa Lan direct the servants to put the lily away.

For this day, the Lan family specially made a new plaque, and the plaque that said Ruyi Building was moved in. Father Lan was distracted to instruct the servants to adjust the plaque, and hung the seal script plaque that said Ruyi Building on the main house, with a gilded border Shining bright, rich and powerful.
